About Mary

I feel I can really relate to a families needs when it comes to our loved ones. My mother was very sick for a long period of time. I was the only one who could help her as I was a stay at home mom. It was a very trying time. I feel I can relate to the fears that come from trusting our loved ones in a care situation. I hold a very high level of patience and empathy. My children are all grown which gives me the opportunity to work full time. I am currently seeking a new career due to the high physical demands of massage therapy on my hands. I also previously held a license as a certified medical assistant. I let my license lapse for massage therapy. I feel I have above average knowledge of the body and can easily help with exercise and mobility as necessary. I think being a massage therapist taught me a lot about empathy and sensing discomfort or pain. I am not judgemental or squeemish. In my time as a medical assistant, I was able to assist in minor surgery. I am comfortable in a home setting, as I provided in home therapeutic massage. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.

I grew up watching my parents taking care of my grand parents , I guess it comes naturally to me doing the same . Taking care of other gives you that inner satisfaction which is hard to find in other work settings. I'm proud to be a Nurse . I'm registered nurse from a foreign country working as certified nursing assistant with extensive experience working with seniors with different healthcare needs and trained to work with a lot of diverse cultures and settings. http://www.thequint.com/2015/aprhttp://www.thequint.com/2015/apr/07/female-gender-mutilation-indias-well-kept-secret/07/female-gender-mutilation-indias-well-kept-secret
